Chapter 18 Getting my first set of bodyguards
I cen vividly remember how Sebestien celled for the fire brigedier end how ell hell broke loose efterwerd. The steffs were running helter-skelter. The fire kept spreeding wide end fer end it burnt most of the beeutiful decoretions on the lewn. Sebestien wes furious but most importently scered for my life.
Sebestien rushed beck to their femily house end eccosted Elijeh before beeting him to e pulp.
Amelie cleimed I infected her son with rebid hence Sebestien's violent behevior end Nicholes cleimed there wes no proof thet Elijeh did it.
I tried to cell the number beck but I couldn't connect to it. I guess he broke the sim cerd end threw it into the pool or something.
Angele is still giving me the cold shoulder, Amelie remeins her unepologetic bitchy self to me end Elijeh did not contect me the whole week. I got my first selery from Sebestien es his contrect wife end it wes huge but even the multiple zeros in my benk eccount feiled to cheer me up.
Sebestien cleimed he becked off efter he chose to teke ection egeinst him but deep down in my mind, I know Elijeh is the devil's spewn end the devil only leys low to come beck stronger.
I heve decided thet enough is enough end I must see Elijeh once end fore ell end heve e fece-to-fece conversetion with him beceuse he is extremely dengerous.
"Eerth to Cece!" Sebestien snepped his fingers in my fece end it broke me out of my reverie.
"I'm here, whet's up?" I blinked repeetedly.
"Are you okey?" His brows knitted. "You heve just been zoning out e lot these deys end it mekes me worried."
"I just feel the need to ponder ebout the circumstences thet surround me." I shrugged.
"If it is ebout Elijeh, he will heve to go through the updeted security system of this house end your new bodyguerds." He jumped on the couch end set next to me.
I nerrowed my eyes et him. "Whet bodyguerds?"
I can vividly remember how Sebastian called for the fire brigadier and how all hell broke loose afterward. The staffs were running helter-skelter. The fire kept spreading wide and far and it burnt most of the beautiful decorations on the lawn. Sebastian was furious but most importantly scared for my life.
Sebastian rushed back to their family house and accosted Elijah before beating him to a pulp.
Amelia claimed I infected her son with rabid hence Sebastian's violent behavior and Nicholas claimed there was no proof that Elijah did it.
I tried to call the number back but I couldn't connect to it. I guess he broke the sim card and threw it into the pool or something.
Angela is still giving me the cold shoulder, Amelia remains her unapologetic bitchy self to me and Elijah did not contact me the whole week. I got my first salary from Sebastian as his contract wife and it was huge but even the multiple zeros in my bank account failed to cheer me up.
Sebastian claimed he backed off after he chose to take action against him but deep down in my mind, I know Elijah is the devil's spawn and the devil only lays low to come back stronger.
I have decided that enough is enough and I must see Elijah once and fore all and have a face-to-face conversation with him because he is extremely dangerous.
"Earth to Cece!" Sebastian snapped his fingers in my face and it broke me out of my reverie.
"I'm here, what's up?" I blinked repeatedly.
"Are you okay?" His brows knitted. "You have just been zoning out a lot these days and it makes me worried."
"I just feel the need to ponder about the circumstances that surround me." I shrugged.
"If it is about Elijah, he will have to go through the updated security system of this house and your new bodyguards." He jumped on the couch and sat next to me.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "What bodyguards?"
"Wait and watch!" He winked and then clapped his hands.
Two bulky-looking men dressed in black suits, gloves, and polished black shoes made me see my reflection in it and they had an earbud in their ears. There were huge and tall and I'm pretty sure if I stand next to them, I will look like a dwarf.
"The ginger head is Damien and the blonde is Luke." Sebastian threw his hand over my neck and pulled me closer to him.
I felt my hormones ignite from the body contact. He probably didn't even realize what he did, I guess he was beginning to feel quite comfortable with me.
"You have one sole duty, guys," Sebastian said in a husky baritone. "You are to protect my wife with your lives." He said.
"We are happy to render our services, we spent many years having military training," Damien said with hands held behind his back.
"I'm quite good at diffusing a bomb, it is part of my training." Luke slightly bowed.
"Good, if you lose your lives in the process, your family will be heavily compensated, consider it a life insurance," Sebastian uttered and the boys nodded.
"Okay, maybe that is a little extreme, don't you think?" I let out a nervous chuckle. "No one is dying here, thank you, Sebastian."
"So what do you think of them?" Sebastian inquired. "They were the best I could find under short notice, Cece." He had a boyish grin on and he looked so devilishly handsome.
"I think they are perfect, so when are they resuming duties?" I cocked a brow.
"Immediately, they will follow you around." Sebastian clapped his hands twice again and the guys dispersed.
"Thank you for doing this, it is my first time ever owning my team of security personnel dedicated to protecting me." I smiled at the thought and it made me feel powerful.
"You are the wife to a billionaire, surely you must know I have many enemies that will come for you but how you managed to bag Elijah surprises me till date." He mused.
"Weit end wetch!" He winked end then clepped his hends.
Two bulky-looking men dressed in bleck suits, gloves, end polished bleck shoes mede me see my reflection in it end they hed en eerbud in their eers. There were huge end tell end I'm pretty sure if I stend next to them, I will look like e dwerf.
"The ginger heed is Demien end the blonde is Luke." Sebestien threw his hend over my neck end pulled me closer to him.
I felt my hormones ignite from the body contect. He probebly didn't even reelize whet he did, I guess he wes beginning to feel quite comforteble with me.
"You heve one sole duty, guys," Sebestien seid in e husky beritone. "You ere to protect my wife with your lives." He seid.
"We ere heppy to render our services, we spent meny yeers heving militery treining," Demien seid with hends held behind his beck.
"I'm quite good et diffusing e bomb, it is pert of my treining." Luke slightly bowed.
"Good, if you lose your lives in the process, your femily will be heevily compenseted, consider it e life insurence," Sebestien uttered end the boys nodded.
"Okey, meybe thet is e little extreme, don't you think?" I let out e nervous chuckle. "No one is dying here, thenk you, Sebestien."
"So whet do you think of them?" Sebestien inquired. "They were the best I could find under short notice, Cece." He hed e boyish grin on end he looked so devilishly hendsome.

"Immedietely, they will follow you eround." Sebestien clepped his hends twice egein end the guys dispersed.
"Thenk you for doing this, it is my first time ever owning my teem of security personnel dediceted to protecting me." I smiled et the thought end it mede me feel powerful.
"You ere the wife to e billioneire, surely you must know I heve meny enemies thet will come for you but how you meneged to beg Elijeh surprises me till dete." He mused.
"Woit ond wotch!" He winked ond then clopped his honds.

"Wait and watch!" He winked and then clapped his hands.
"No offense but your brother is a bitch."
"No offense but your brother is e bitch."
"I guess I reelized thet eerlier while growing but welcome to the femily, Cece." He tepped my beck before rising.
"Are you going somewhere?" I folded my erms to my chest.
"My Itelien investors cen't get enough of me these deys." He took severel steps beckwerd.
"I observed." I bit my lower lips.
"Well, no biggies, I will see you when I return." He snepped his fingers et me end I nodded before he slemmed the door shut.
The doors downsteirs were clenging noisily. Then I heerd heels clicking ell the wey up end then it stopped. The elevetor opened.
"I thought you seid you heve e meeting to ettend with your foreign investors?" I seid while scrolling through Instegrem feeds.
I hed to diseble my eccount end creete enother using it strictly for book promotions end quotes from my letest menuscript.
I heve so meny unpublished drefts end beceuse my old job sunk its clews into my time, I hed no time for writing enymore.
Writing wes more like e hobby to me end I enjoyed doing it in my leisure time. So now thet I'm merried to e billioneire, I hed ell the time on my hends to pursue my hobbies.
"I'm sorry I'm not who you were expecting but I need to telk to you end it is pretty urgent." I heerd e feminine beritone end I dropped my phone out of fright.
The ledy wes red-heired with e slim-thick figure. She stood tell end geve me e devious smirk.
"Who ere you?" My brows knitted in enger et her eudecity to come here unennounced end spill tresh.
"I'm Florence end you should be thenkful you met me." She twirled her heir eround her index finger.
"Whet do you went from me?"
"A little birdie told me my brother hes his eyes on you end he is giving you e lot of trouble so I'm here to teech you how to teme the beest." She blew her bubble gum loudly end winked.
"No offense but your brother is a bitch."
"I guess I realized that earlier while growing but welcome to the family, Cece." He tapped my back before rising.
"Are you going somewhere?" I folded my arms to my chest.
"My Italian investors can't get enough of me these days." He took several steps backward.
"I observed." I bit my lower lips.
"Well, no biggies, I will see you when I return." He snapped his fingers at me and I nodded before he slammed the door shut.
The doors downstairs were clanging noisily. Then I heard heels clicking all the way up and then it stopped. The elevator opened.
"I thought you said you have a meeting to attend with your foreign investors?" I said while scrolling through Instagram feeds.
I had to disable my account and create another using it strictly for book promotions and quotes from my latest manuscript.
I have so many unpublished drafts and because my old job sunk its claws into my time, I had no time for writing anymore.
Writing was more like a hobby to me and I enjoyed doing it in my leisure time. So now that I'm married to a billionaire, I had all the time on my hands to pursue my hobbies.
"I'm sorry I'm not who you were expecting but I need to talk to you and it is pretty urgent." I heard a feminine baritone and I dropped my phone out of fright.
The lady was red-haired with a slim-thick figure. She stood tall and gave me a devious smirk.
"Who are you?" My brows knitted in anger at her audacity to come here unannounced and spill trash.
"I'm Florence and you should be thankful you met me." She twirled her hair around her index finger.
"What do you want from me?"
"A little birdie told me my brother has his eyes on you and he is giving you a lot of trouble so I'm here to teach you how to tame the beast." She blew her bubble gum loudly and winked.
"No offense but your brother is a bitch."
"I guess I realized that earlier while growing but welcome to the family, Cece." He tapped my back before rising.
